Getting hired to be a data analyst and then having to solely do power query and excel data models is my own definition of hell

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

There’s a moment that happens to new parents, probably around four in the morning, when you’ve been up all night with a sick kid, and they’ve just thrown up again, and you’re so fucking tired and frustrated, but it’s outweighed by the sympathy you feel for this helpless dependent, and most of all you just want them to feel better, and then it hits you that this is what your mom did for you, and in that moment you understand your parents in a new way, fully comprehend what they did for you — like, you really get it, way down in your stomach, not just in the abstract way that anybody can understand what parents do for children — and you realize that from now on you’re always going to see things from the perspective of the parent, not as a child, and a lot of your complaints and hangups and neuroses will melt away, never to return, and from now on the stories you’ll tell about your childhood, stories you’ve told 1000 times before, will have a slightly different character, will be based on a fuller understanding of who you are and what actually happened to you, and you’ll think, “my God, in all those years of childlessness, I’ve cheated myself of this realization, of this opportunity to understand the world as it really is and move on.”

And if you’re childless and reading this, then maybe you’re thinking, “sure, but obviously I can intellectually understand this without having children of my own” and it’s just, like, no, probably not.

It just doesn’t really work like that.

@teodorio This is great btw. Think I definitely need to lean into the architecture and out of the pipelines.

It's not hard for an American man to be "Mexicanized."

You show up in the desert penniless, exhausted by the harsh sorrows of the world. You wander around Yuma. By chance, some friendly campesinos offer you some Tecate. You get drunk.

They offer you work picking lettuce, and you take it. Immediately, you're immersed in a world of cumbia and corridos, habanero salsas and tamales, great big crates of lechuga loaded onto trucks, and you're tanning so dark you're starting to look Mexican yourself.

The guys are calling you "güero" -- they're nice to you. They're nicer to you than anyone's been in years. They want you to play fútbol in the churchyard with them; they never exclude you from whatever they're up to, never skip you in the tequila rotation. Their world is colorful, loud, sweaty, laughing, and they're glad you're there. You get the sense that this is how it was always supposed to be.

And you can't come back from that. When you go back home, everyone seems so "stiff" and cold. Your family, they eat quickly, they don't linger over anything, they don't seem to enjoy anything. Your town has no one playing fútbol on the lawn, no cumbia, no burning sun that makes you smile and sweat. Everyone is awkward, tentative, distant. You cannot help but miss la frontera.

It's at that moment that the process is complete. You just can't go back. You're "spiritually Mexican" now.

1. If used for evaporative cooling, you want the water to not have much stuff in it because the stuff doesn’t evaporate and eventually you have a concentrated soup you have to get rid of.

2. If closed-loop cooling (new data centers are mostly closed loop now) it doesn’t matter that much because not that much water is being removed from water systems.

3. In some circumstances we can and do, but you need to get the gray water to the right place which sometimes isn’t worth it.

4. Overall, I think we should be less concerned about absolute gallons of water “used” than about capacity additions to municipal water systems and who pays for them, which is an equal worry with drinkable or gray water!

@teodorio @aiden0x4 How’d you get into freelancing and consulting as a data engineer? All my DE jobs had been more long term and typically the role has more infra focused?

[signüll @signulll]

if you ask most peeps why they want kids they’ll give you some npc answer.

the reason why i think having children would be amazing is that you get a front row seat to consciousness booting up. like watching an os that god wrote light up for the first time.

& as they grow up you get to examine the world through an innocence lens you basically shedded a long long time ago.
